COP Repair
I just found out that I have the P0301 code on my '99 F150 4.6, and I want to get the coil and plug replaced for Cylinder 1. I understand that this is a purely subjective question, but is $348 to get this replaced from a Ford dealership the equivalent of getting raped? I have a feeling that it is. Is just replacing the plug on cylinder one a pretty quick process since it's an easy access cylinder? I've read many posts on people with this problem, so I know that it's most likely a coil and/or plug. Oh, and a wire/plug job at the Ford dealership is a whopping $470, which I just can't seem to justify. Other local shops (Firestone, Pep Boys) will do it for between $250 and $300. Any opinions on pricing and such would be much appreciated.
There's one in the sticky for changing plugs. Just stop when you get to the part about the plugs.

The coil packs are about $40 bucks at advance. But in my case it was water n crap down in the pulg holes. I would start by pulling the wire on 1 to see if it's nice n dry. If so I would replace the one plug ( and replace the other one's later if this fixes the prob). If you've read a lot of threads on this, then you know it could be a lot of things causing this.
